BANGKOK: Pheu Thai Party ministers in the government as well as red-shirt members gathered at the residence of Thaksin Shinawatra to celebrate the former prime minister’s 75th birthday.
KOTA KINABALU: The Federal Government has remained mum despite Sabah's repeated requests for the state’s constitutional right to receive 40% of its special grant revenue, says Sabah's Attorney General.
He said that as part of the interim arrangement agreed between the state and federal governments for ensuring a"transparent and constructive" negotiation, it was agreed that critical financial data involving the actual revenue derived from Sabah was supposed to be disclosed. "It has already been disclosed that since 2022, no less than eight official requests were made by the state to the Federal Government to obtain crucial financial data. Financial data was not shared or was incomplete," Soh said.
"In response, the JTMTPMA63 was informed by the Federal Ministry of Finance that the negotiations would be held separately between the parties in June 2024," he said, adding that due to time and data constraints, the state committee prepared an updated official claim in anticipation of the negotiations to be held.
"We therefore remain prepared, ready and able to commence further negotiations of the special grant due," Soh added.
